I'd say this thing is closer to a NASCAR 'stock' car than a Hellcat (in the # of areas attention was paid to it). It's not all about power. It is certainly more race car than probably 95% of the stock or 'tuned/modified' 86s that have hit the track under private ownership to date. Whether it's worth the price or can even be acquired by the moaners is another thing. We can certainly agree on that last point.

Not a fan of the video but it's good to have. Aggressive edit of the stock 86. Did it kill all the cones or blow an injector seal?
I guess we should should rename it from track edition to parking lot edition. Put the thing on Tsukuba already and get some numbers! |

Just curious, at what speed do you think aero is required? Most auto actuated spoilers go up at 60mph, btw. |

Better question is why does his car not break 105 mph...I know mine as well as a few others have no problem getting there in 4th gear...
